monasterio zenarruza


The Zenarruza Monastery, a jewel of the Basque Country, stands as a testament to the region's rich history and cultural heritage. Declared a National Monument, this former collegiate church captivates visitors with its Gothic-Renaissance architecture, particularly its Plateresque altarpiece and mid-16th century cloister. Once an important stop for pilgrims on the Coastal Way of St. James, the monastery continues to offer solace and spiritual retreat, embodying the tranquility and tradition that has been preserved over centuries.
